Gladstone Regional Council would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land, the Byellee, the Gooreng Gooreng, the Gurang and the Taribelang Bunda people.

The present economic climate required us to revisit our strategic goals and refine them, so our efforts could be channelled towards building success for all our communities. We considered factors such as population growth, the role of industry in the region, service expectations and the likelihood of further disasters or pandemic events in determining what that success looked like. As our primary strategic planning document, the Corporate Plan will guide us to achieve realistic outcomes. There will be a multi-year emphasis on further enhancing connections with our community, providing value for money for our ratepayers and meeting community expectations in the way we serve. Council’s strategic direction from 2021-2026 will continue to be set against the backdrop of our vision – “Connect. Innovate. Diversify.” The organisation’s values will also remain a constant for our people and across our workplace, underpinning everything we do for our community. Our goals and commitments for this period ahead align with the intentions of both our vision and values. During the next five years we will deliver on five goals: 1. Connecting Communities p.12 2. Delivering Value p.13 3. Resilient Economy p.14 4. Our People p.15 5. Accountable Council p.16 We are committed to enhancing our community connections through an extension of the customer service foundation and rethinking how we serve and understand each of our communities. Gladstone Regional Council 2021-2026 Corporate Plan Page 4 Another focus will be on executing our works efficiently, effectively and safely through the implementation of our asset management framework. Council will continue our investment towards a resilient economy by supporting existing and emerging opportunities for economic prosperity. We recognise that our people are the backbone of everything we do and achieve. Building a workplace that our people are proud to work for is our key to delivering outstanding services for our communities. Over the next five years Council will deliver good stewardship built on a foundation of trust. This five-year plan will guide us towards making decisions that will impact both present and future generations, in a region where the future will be built on connection, innovation and diversity. Cr Matt Burnett Leisa Dowling Mayor Gladstone Region Chief Executive Officer Gladstone Regional Council 2021-2026 Corporate Plan Page 5 Region Overview From Kroombit Tops in the west to the coral lagoons of the Southern Great Barrier Reef, the Gladstone Region’s environment is as varied as its capacity for economic development. Balaclava Curtis Island The region has a population of about 63,000 people and covers close to 10,500 Island National park square kilometers. Curtis Island It has a strong record of job creation and investment opportunities, with Raglan relaxed living, recreational and tourism options enhancing its appeal and Creek Rundle Range potential for future growth. National Park The Narrows In recent decades, the economy has been built around heavy industry Raglan with access to a deep-water harbour for export trade. South End The region has two of the world’s largest alumina refineries, Targinnie the Boyne Island Aluminium Smelter and the Liquefied Facing Island Natural Gas (LNG) industry on nearby Curtis Island. Mount Larcom Yarwun Port Curtis After a period of economic slowdown and the world- Gladstone wide pandemic, it is now looking to recover and revive its communities for a brighter future. Boyne Island Industry, along with an engaged community, will be at the Tannum Sands centre of this revival. Wild Cattle Island National Park Several renewable energy projects embracing biofuels, solar Hummock Hill W A Y Island energy, hydrogen and new waste management practices have I G H Calliope Benaraby N H S O been proposed for the Gladstone State Development Area. W A Lake D Awoonga When realised, these projects would position the city of Gladstone Turkey Beach as a renewable energy hub, taking the economy in an exciting, new Eurimbula National Park direction. Castle Tower Seventeen Seventy The Gladstone Region features plenty of green open space, including National Park the nationally recognised Gladstone Tondoon Botanic Gardens and plentiful Agnes Water coastal locations where sailing and boating activities take place. Bororen Residents and visitors can see historic sites in Calliope, go bush walking in Blackman’s Gap, mountain climb Mount Biondello or snorkel the reef off Deepwater National Park the coast to experience the outdoor environment. Miriam Vale Kroombit Tops The region’s strength is a great sense of community with a ‘can do’ National Park Nagoorin attitude. Combine this with well-developed infrastructure and services, Mount Colosseum Ubobo National Park Broadwater and you have local communities with a support structure to thrive again.
